Run isolated sandboxes with full lifecycle control: AWS Lambda introduces MicroVMs
Summary
AWS announces Lambda MicroVMs, a serverless primitive that runs code in isolated, stateful MicroVMs powered by Firecracker. It delivers VM-level isolation with near-instant launch, maintains state across sessions, and supports auto-suspend/resume, enabling safe execution of user- or AI-generated code in multi-tenant apps. The article explains how to create MicroVM Images from Dockerfiles and zip artifacts, launch them via CLI or Console, and outlines regions, limits, and pricing.
